Projector and computer access at primary meeting locations
Many of the districts leadership teams, committees, and departments meet at the same few locations throughout the district. It would be nice to have quick easy access to projectors and computers to help share information digitally at these meetings instead of paper. While we do have a projector and laptop that can be checked out, it can be cumbersome to haul this around, set it up and the laptop itself can be hard to get connected to the network. Also a large screen or blank area to project this on to.
Having a dedicated projector and computer or connection point at these main meetings hubs could be more efficient and effective and also help in cases of community meetings and training with staff, etc.
The South Point Conference, Prairie Point loft, Planning & Development office, Civic Center Room 1 as well as one of the rooms at Boulder Point.
Along with moving us along technology wise this would also help environmentally with paper waste and could improve efficiency.

That is a great suggestion to help us to Collaborate! We've heard through the grapevine that this is something that is in the works. We'll keep you posted!
This is a great idea and something our IT Department has started to review. While we don't have any permanent solutions in the works as of yet, we have budgeted a replacement laptop/projector for the current setup. We also plan on purchasing a second laptop/projector setup so that we have more then one. The Boulder Point project gives us an opportunity to add a permanent solution at that location and we can look at the remaining facilities during each budget season.
They are here! We have two new sets of laptops and projectors. Thanks to the IT Department for getting these up and rolling this year. Here are a few notes from Keith:
- It was impossible to find a bag that would fit everything, therefore we purchased a case for each projector and a case for each laptop. This will allow for some flexibility moving forward. (i.e. if you only need the projector you won’t have to lug the laptop with it and vice versa). However, if you need both remember to grab both cases.
- Sign out of the laptop/projector will be the same as it has been in the past. Please fill out the sheet accordingly when you take a piece of equipment and return the piece of equipment.
- Both setups currently reside at Prairie Point but eventually we will probably move one over to Civic Center so that we have a setup near to Civic Center, Boulder Point and Winrock. While keeping the other near Prairie Point, South Point and Fox Bend. Little White has its own setup that they use.
